Summary
Although Cassandra has the capability to be a set-it-and-forget-it system, it runs
most efficiently with a bit of regular care. Depending on some of the design de-
cisions made for your implementation, the amount of maintenance for your cluster
may be a lot of work or a little. But figuring out what needs to be done and de-
termining the current state of your system should be done regularly whether you
decide to run regular compactions or not. Since most of that can be done with
no-
detool
, it is important to have a good understanding of what it can do and what
information it can provide.
